This is much, much better than all the other Friendster parody sites

Why yes, it was inevitable and perfect that someone should invent Political Friendster, a tasty mix of the aforementioned site, They Rule, and Wikipedia.

[FYI, they have also posted, in what seems like near entirety, a ridiculous and telling IM transcript of a conversation between Jonathan Abrams and a friend of the founder.]
